Candy AI vs Selfie

Candy AI is an online chat application for conversations with fictional AI characters. Users can choose from over 100 characters or create a companion by selecting attributes such as appearance, voice, personality, and hobbies. The service supports text, images, videos, and voice notes, as well as voice conversations and personalized image and AI video generation. Conversations can adapt to a user's tone and retain information shared in chat. Roleplay and storytelling are available subject to the Community Guidelines. Candy AI works on Android, iOS, and the web without installation. A free plan and free trial are listed. The Premium — 1 Month plan is $9.99 a month for the first month, then renews monthly at €13.99; other listed options include Premium — 12 Months at $3.99 a year, Premium — 3 Months at $8.99 a month, Premium — every 2 weeks at $9.79 a month, and Premium — weekly at $5.60 a month. The service is intended for adults aged 18 or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever applies. Its Privacy Notice says interactions may be used to develop AI and moderation systems, and chatbot messages may be shared with third-party LLM providers.

Selfie is a social network built around AI twins: profiles that answer questions in their owner’s voice from material the owner provides. Users can create a twin from social accounts, photos, documents, links, text, and other content. The creator page names Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, podcasts, and writing as sources. A Selfie can respond while its owner is offline, with persistent memory and extensive customization. The Free plan costs nothing and lets users create a Selfie without a follower minimum. Creators set subscriber prices from $1 to $1,000 per month and keep 75% of subscription revenue. Fans can tip $2, $5, $10, or $25, with creators retaining 75%. Profile merchandise returns 95% before card processing. Payouts use Stripe after identity verification. Selfie runs on iOS and the web, and users must be at least 18.
